Proceeding contribution from Denis MacShane (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 March 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union Bill.


European Union Bill

I am grateful that the poor fish thrown into the sea will now have their flippers flipped in the House of Commons. I want our Government and our House regularly to debate Europe, but the plain fact is that it is the decision of this Government—this coalition—not so to do. The Foreign Affairs Committee, with its coalition majority, is also abolishing its regular trip to the European Union nation that holds the presidency.
